A collection of hilarious stories from Poolesville, Maryland.

All from the twisted mind of Mike Sacks.

SEASON 1 : STANLAND

StanLand is a five-part satirical audio series featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Little, Timm Sharp, Jon Hamm, John Waters, and more.

When cynical podcaster Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn) vanishes without a trace, the only clue is her abandoned recorder, discovered by the side of a road in Poolesville, Maryland. What’s on the tape? A story that begins with a dusty Ikea wardrobe… and ends in a magical realm slowly being swallowed up by fast food chains, retail shopping, and vape stores. Enter Zyngia: once a land of wonder, ruled by a talking lion (Steve Little), now a cautionary tale of what happens when fantasy meets modern consumerism. At the center of it all? Stan Little (Bobby Moynihan). Unemployed. Unremarkable. Possibly the last person you’d want on a magical quest. And yet… here we are.

Written by Mike Sacks and S.G. Wilson.

SEASON 2: RANDY

Before Stan, there was Randy. Randy! is a self-published memoir of a Maryland thirty-something jerk found by author Mike Sacks at a garage sale and re-published here for you. The audio was captured by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American asshole named Randy. Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style fuck-up, the story is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our own—one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Mike Sacks to bring it to light.
